RBC reviews

-Ibankers are terrible and lack basic knowledge of their industry, at least in the sector I covered -Due to the above the firm is left out of deals with companies where research has a good relationship -Given the weakness in banking, bonus pool is subpar -Technology investment is abysmal and the lack of investment reduces the productivity of the work force. For example, I still had Excel 2003 in 2013 and my job was to model in Excel. I had clients who couldn't open my models because our software was so old. I had another client poke fun at how ancient my laptop was. Its a broker/dealer, the aim is to impress the buy side. -Small US employee pool has lead to unsatisfactory employee health care benefits

*Very poor salary (considering billions in profits) *Team Leaders are horribly under-qualified, only way to move up is if you do a lot of sucking up. Qualifications don't matter. *In SSG (Royal Direct), Team Leaders follow you to the bathroom, follow you on your breaks, ask overly personal questions, and are all on major power trips. *They have a special Team that is managed by a Team Leader who is responsible for firing as people as possible from that team. He or She is rewarded for terminating these positions. *Advisory Group is especially useless, don't waste your time. *Benefits suck - $50 per pay cheque is not a good deal. Just making insurance companies richer.
